Money and Me: Unicorns, Hype and Bubbles

Our episode takes us from dormitories in Dubai to data centres in Seattle as investors navigate a market that feels both ambitious and anxious. Centurion Corp eyes Middle East expansion as Amazon stumbles, AMD faces scepticism, and Anthropic rides a post-Super Bowl surge - all while the STI flirts with the 5,000 mark.

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack Centurion’s “baby steps” into migrant housing demand across the Gulf.

US markets pause but remain jittery, with AI reshaping sentiment around Amazon, AMD and Palo Alto Networks.

Corporate earnings from Walmart and DoorDash add to the week’s catalysts as India hosts the AI Impact Summit featuring Microsoft and Anthropic.

Back home, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding and Keppel Corp outperform while DBS lags the STI.
Plus, in UP or DOWN, we size up GuocoLand’s movies and whether Anthropic’s marketing momentum signals something bigger.

Market View: Centurion expands, corporate earnings catalysts & how AI is reshaping sentiment

From Singapore’s AI ambitions to China’s EV and bubble tea giants - where is the smartest risk-reward right now?

Singapore’s Budget 2026 signals an accelerated AI roadmap just as Chinese growth names like BYD, XPeng, Pop Mart and Guming Holdings capture investor attention, hosted by Michelle Martin.

We unpack Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s innovation-led strategy and what it could mean for Singapore equities and AI infrastructure plays.

Then we pivot to China’s EV landscape as global registrations soften and policy shifts test demand resilience.

BYD’s battery leadership and export muscle face off against XPeng’s tech-driven autonomy ambitions.
Pop Mart’s IP-powered collectibles and Guming’s beverage expansion highlight the power - and risk - of consumer identity investing.

Are these companies building durable global franchises, or riding policy tailwinds and cyclical momentum?
